Hope for the best, but plan for the worst."
Of course.
Best case scenario is that Trump will win in a landslide, carrying with him both the House and the Senate with large enough majorities to actually govern for the following two years, and during that time they will set right the worst of problems that so offend conservatives these days.
In that best case scenario, we cannot expect Democrats to take defeat lying down.
They will rebel, revolt, insurrect, commit domestic violence and treason the entire time of Trump's presidency, especially as Trump seriously "returns to sender" the illegal immigrants whose census counts, and illegal votes Democrats are desperately hoping for.
No, I don't expect a worst-case scenario because I don't expect Trump to allow the Democrats' vote-stealing machine to work unhindered, yet again.
However, based on current polls, Trump would only have to lose PA, Michigan and Nevada... ;-(
If Democrats win majorities in the House or Senate, we will not like the results.
Bottom line is there will be negative consequences either way, but better overall if Trump and Republicans win everything.
This is my best-case scenario, based on today's polls.
Trump 311 electoral college votes.
Anything better than this means Democrats collapsed (as in 1984), which seems unlikely.
Anything worse means the Democrats' vote stealing machine operating in turbocharged overdrive, imho.
